Chan Chhaya Pavilion

Phnom Penh

The royal Palace in Phnom Penh, Cambodia is held completely in white and yellow to symbolize the two national religions, Hinduism and Buddhism. It features several buildings, spread over one public and one private section which includes the Kings living quarters. The buidlings are richly ornamented, but many parts are deteriorating since the renovations cost more money than the palaces can afford. The steep rise in tourism is bringing hope to the kingdom. You can see the Chan Chhaya Pavilion where Cambodian Dance performances for festive occasions are shown. The building is easily visible from the outside.
